Local Music Notes: Phoenix honors blues great

Phoenix honors blues great with ‘Bob Corritore Day’

Valley blues great Bob Corritore — who hosts “Those Lowdown Blues” 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sundays on KJZZ (91.5 FM) and owns the Rhythm Room, the venerable roots club in Phoenix — has been honored with his own day by Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon. For being a pioneer in Valley blues, bringing great blues artists to the club and being an ambassador of the blues for the Valley, Gordon proclaimed Sept. 29, 2007, “Bob Corritore Day”.
